The role of social capital in women's sexual and reproductive health and rights in humanitarian settings: a systematic review of qualitative studies.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Social capital is an important social determinant of women's sexual and reproductive health and rights. Little research has been conducted to understand the role of social capital in women's sexual and reproductive health and how this can be harnessed to improve health in humanitarian settings. We synthesised the evidence to examine the nexus of women's sexual and reproductive health and rights and social capital in humanitarian contexts.

Methods

We undertook a systematic review of qualitative studies. The preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis guidelines were used to identify peer-reviewed, qualitative studies conducted in humanitarian settings published since 1999. We searched CINAHL, MEDLINE, ProQuest Health & Medicine, PubMed, Embase
